Understanding Your Agilent ChemStation 71

Integration

The ChemStation Integrator Algorithms

The ChemStation integrator algorithm is the second revision of a new

generation aimed at improved ruggedness, reliability and ease-of-use.

Integrator Capabilities

The integrator algorithms include the following key capabilities:

• an autointegrate capability used to set up initial integrator parameters,

• the ability to define individual integration event tables for each

chromatographic/electropherographic signal if multiple signals or more

than one detector is used,

• interactive definition of integration events that allows users to graphically

select event times,

• graphical manual or rubber-band integration of

chromatogram/electropherograms requiring human interpretation (these

events may also be recorded in the method and used as part of the

automated operation),

• display and printing of integration results, and

• the ability to integrate at least 1000 peaks per

chromatogram/electropherograms.

• integrator parameter definitions to set or modify the basic integrator

settings for area rejection, height rejection, peak width and slope

sensitivity,

• baseline control parameters, such as force baseline, hold baseline, baseline

at all valleys, baseline at the next valley, fit baseline backwards from the

end of the current peak,

• area summation control,

• negative peak recognition,

• tangent skim processing including solvent peak definition commands, and

• the ability to define individual front/tail tangent skim calculations event

tables for all chromatographic/electropherographic signal,
